New Black Panthers rally in Newberry Saturday

Newberry authorities have approved a march and rally permit for the New Black Panthers for Saturday.  A planned march will end at the courthouse.   A meeting will be held afterwards for local residents.

The organization has criticized authorities like Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster who did not immediately consider the Anthony Hill murder case as a racially-motivated hate crime.  Reports say Hill was shot and then dragged for miles behind a truck driven by by Gregory Collins.
